1. Introduction
This draft defines a NETCONF [RFC6241] server configuration data
model and a RESTCONF [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf] server
configuration data model. These data models enable configuration of
the NETCONF and RESTCONF services themselves, including which
transports are supported, what ports the servers listen on, call-home
parameters, client authentication, and related parameters.

Internet-Draft NETCONF/RESTCONF Server Config Models March 2016
1.1. Terminology
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
1.2. Tree Diagrams
A simplified graphical representation of the data models is used in
this document. The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as
follows:
o Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.
o Braces "{" and "}" enclose feature names, and indicate that the
named feature must be present for the subtree to be present.
o Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
(read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only).
o Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.
o Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
marked with a colon (":").
o Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
shown.
2. Objectives
The primary purpose of the YANG modules defined herein is to enable
the configuration of the NETCONF and RESTCONF services on a network
element. This scope includes the following objectives:
2.1. Support all NETCONF and RESTCONF transports
The YANG module should support all current NETCONF and RESTCONF
transports, namely NETCONF over SSH [RFC6242], NETCONF over TLS
[RFC7589], and RESTCONF over TLS [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf], and
to be extensible to support future transports as necessary.
Because implementations may not support all transports, the module
should use YANG "feature" statements so that implementations can
accurately advertise which transports are supported.
Watsen & Schoenwaelder Expires September 17, 2016 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft NETCONF/RESTCONF Server Config Models March 2016
2.2. Enable each transport to select which keys to use
Servers may have a multiplicity of host-keys or server-certificates
from which subsets may be selected for specific uses. For instance,
a NETCONF server may want to use one set of SSH host-keys when
listening on port 830, and a different set of SSH host-keys when
calling home. The data models provided herein should enable
configuration of which keys to use on a per-use basis.
2.3. Support authenticating NETCONF/RESTCONF clients certificates
When a certificate is used to authenticate a NETCONF or RESTCONF
client, there is a need to configure the server to know how to
authenticate the certificates. The server should be able to
authenticate the client's certificate either by using path-validation
to a configured trust anchor or by matching the client-certificate to
one previously configured.
2.4. Support mapping authenticated NETCONF/RESTCONF client certificates
to usernames
When a client certificate is used for TLS client authentication, the
NETCONF/RESTCONF server must be able to derive a username from the
authenticated certificate. Thus the modules defined herein should
enable this mapping to be configured.
2.5. Support both listening for connections and call home
The NETCONF and RESTCONF protocols were originally defined as having
the server opening a port to listen for client connections. More
recently the NETCONF working group defined support for call-home
([draft-ietf-netconf-call-home]), enabling the server to initiate the
connection to the client, for both the NETCONF and RESTCONF
protocols. Thus the modules defined herein should enable
configuration for both listening for connections and calling home.
Because implementations may not support both listening for
connections and calling home, YANG "feature" statements should be
used so that implementation can accurately advertise the connection
types it supports.
2.6. For Call Home connections
The following objectives only pertain to call home connections.
Watsen & Schoenwaelder Expires September 17, 2016 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft NETCONF/RESTCONF Server Config Models March 2016
2.6.1. Support more than one NETCONF/RESTCONF client
A NETCONF/RESTCONF server may be managed by more than one NETCONF/
RESTCONF client. For instance, a deployment may have one client for
provisioning and another for fault monitoring. Therefore, when it is
desired for a server to initiate call home connections, it should be
able to do so to more than one client.
2.6.2. Support NETCONF/RESTCONF clients having more than one endpoint
An NETCONF/RESTCONF client managing a NETCONF/RESTCONF server may
implement a high-availability strategy employing a multiplicity of
active and/or passive endpoint. Therefore, when it is desired for a
server to initiate call home connections, it should be able to
connect to any of the client's endpoints.
2.6.3. Support a reconnection strategy
Assuming a NETCONF/RESTCONF client has more than one endpoint, then
it becomes necessary to configure how a NETCONF/RESTCONF server
should reconnect to the client should it lose its connection to one
the client's endpoints. For instance, the NETCONF/RESTCONF server
may start with first endpoint defined in a user-ordered list of
endpoints or with the last endpoints it was connected to.
2.6.4. Support both persistent and periodic connections
NETCONF/RESTCONF clients may vary greatly on how frequently they need
to interact with a NETCONF/RESTCONF server, how responsive
interactions need to be, and how many simultaneous connections they
can support. Some clients may need a persistent connection to
servers to optimize real-time interactions, while others prefer
periodic interactions in order to minimize resource requirements.
Therefore, when it is necessary for server to initiate connections,
it should be configurable if the connection is persistent or
periodic.
2.6.5. Reconnection strategy for periodic connections
The reconnection strategy should apply to both persistent and
periodic connections. How it applies to periodic connections becomes
clear when considering that a periodic "connection" is a logical
connection to a single server. That is, the periods of
unconnectedness are intentional as opposed to due to external
reasons. A periodic "connection" should always reconnect to the same
server until it is no longer able to, at which time the reconnection
strategy guides how to connect to another server.

Internet-Draft NETCONF/RESTCONF Server Config Models March 2016
2.6.6. Keep-alives for persistent connections
If a persistent connection is desired, it is the responsibility of
the connection initiator to actively test the "aliveness" of the
connection. The connection initiator must immediately work to
reestablish a persistent connection as soon as the connection is
lost. How often the connection should be tested is driven by
NETCONF/RESTCONF client requirements, and therefore keep-alive
settings should be configurable on a per-client basis.
2.6.7. Customizations for periodic connections
If a periodic connection is desired, it is necessary for the NETCONF/
RESTCONF server to know how often it should connect. This frequency
determines the maximum amount of time a NETCONF/RESTCONF client may
have to wait to send data to a server. A server may connect to a
client before this interval expires if desired (e.g., to send data to
a client).
3. High-Level Design
The solution presented in this document defines a configurable
keychain object, reusable groupings for SSH and TLS based servers,
and, finally, the configurable NETCONF and RESTCONF server objects,
which are the primary purpose for this draft. Each of these are
defined in a distinct YANG module, thus a total of five YANG modules
are defined in this document. The relationship between these five
YANG modules is illustrated by the tree diagram below.

4. Solution
Each of the following five sections relate to one of the YANG modules
depicted by the figure above.
4.1. The System Keychain Model
The system keychain model defined in this section provides a
configurable object having the following characteristics:
o A semi-configurable list of private keys, each with one or more
associated certificates. Private keys MUST be either preinstalled
(e.g., an IDevID key), be generated by request, or be loaded by
request. Each private key is MAY have associated certificates,
either preinstalled or configured after creation.
o A configurable list of lists of trust anchor certificates. This
enables the server to have use-specific trust anchors. For
instance, one list of trust anchors might be used to authenticate
management connections (e.g., client certificate-based
authentication for NETCONF or RESTCONF connections), and a
different list of trust anchors might be used for when connecting
to a specific Internet-based service (e.g., a zero touch bootstrap
server).
o An RPC to generate a certificate signing request for an existing
private key, a passed subject, and an optional attributes. The
signed certificate returned from an external certificate authority
(CA) can be later set using a standard configuration change
request (e.g., <edit-config>).
o An RPC to request the server to generate a new private key using
the specified algorithm and key length.
o An RPC to request the server to load a new private key.

The following example illustrates what a fully configured keychain
object might look like. The private-key shown below is consistent
with the generate-private-key and generate-certificate-signing-
request examples above. This example also assumes that the resulting
CA-signed certificate has been configured back onto the server.
Lastly, this example shows that three lists of trusted certificates
having been configured.

4.2. The SSH Server Model
The SSH Server model presented in this section presents two YANG
groupings, one for a server that opens a socket to accept TCP
connections on, and another for a server that has had the TCP
connection opened for it already (e.g., inetd).
The SSH Server model (like the TLS Server model presented below) is
provided as a grouping so that it can be used in different contexts.
For instance, the NETCONF Server model presented in Section 4.4 uses
one grouping to configure a NETCONF server listening for connections
and the other grouping to configure NETCONF call home.
A shared characteristic between both groupings is the ability to
configure which host key is presented to clients, the private key for
which is held in the keychain configuration presented before.
Another shared characteristic is the ability to configure which
Watsen & Schoenwaelder Expires September 17, 2016 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft NETCONF/RESTCONF Server Config Models March 2016
trusted CA or client certificates the server should be used to
authenticate clients when using X.509 based client certificates
[RFC6187].
4.2.1. Tree Diagram
The following tree diagram represents the data model for the grouping
used to configure an SSH server to listen for TCP connections. The
tree diagram for the other grouping is not provided, but it is the
same except without the "address" and "port" fields.
NOTE: the diagram below shows "listening-ssh-server" as a YANG
container (not a grouping). This temporary container was created
only to enable the `pyang` tool to output the tree diagram, as
groupings by themselves have no protocol accessible nodes, and hence
`pyang` would output an empty tree diagram.

and the other grouping to configure NETCONF call home.
A shared characteristic between both groupings is the ability to
configure which server certificate is presented to clients, the
private key for which is held in the keychain model presented in
Section 4.1. Another shared characteristic is the ability to
configure which trusted CA or client certificates the server should
be used to authenticate clients.

4.4. The NETCONF Server Model
The NETCONF Server model presented in this section supports servers
both listening for connections to accept as well as initiating call-
home connections. This model also supports both the SSH and TLS
transport protocols, using the SSH Server and TLS Server groupings
presented in Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 respectively. All private
keys and trusted certificates are held in the keychain model
presented in Section 4.1. YANG feature statements are used to enable
implementations to advertise which parts of the model the NETCONF
server supports.
4.4.1. Tree Diagram
The following tree diagram uses line-wrapping in order to comply with
xml2rfc validation. This is annoying as I find that drafts (even txt
drafts) look just fine with long lines - maybe xml2rfc should remove
this warning? - or pyang could have an option to suppress printing
leafref paths?

4.5. The RESTCONF Server Model
The RESTCONF Server model presented in this section supports servers
both listening for connections to accept as well as initiating call-
home connections. This model supports the TLS transport only, as
RESTCONF only supports HTTPS, using the TLS Server groupings
presented in Section 4.3. All private keys and trusted certificates
are held in the keychain model presented in Section 4.1. YANG
feature statements are used to enable implementations to advertise
which parts of the model the RESTCONF server supports.
4.5.1. Tree Diagram
The following tree diagram uses line-wrapping in order to comply with
xml2rfc validation. This is annoying as I find that drafts (even txt
drafts) look just fine with long lines - maybe xml2rfc should remove
this warning? - or pyang could have an option to suppress printing
leafref paths?

5. Design Considerations
The manner that the both local and remote endpoints have been
specified in the ietf-netconf-server and ietf-rest-server modules
does not directly support virtual routing and forwarding (VRF),
though they have been specified in such a way to enable external
modules will augment in VRF designations when needed.
This document uses PKCS #10 [RFC2986] for the "generate-certificate-
signing-request" action. The use of Certificate Request Message
Format (CRMF) [RFC4211] was considered, but is was unclear if there
was market demand for it, and so support for CRMF has been left out
of this specification. If it is desired to support CRMF in the
future, placing a "choice" statement in both the input and output
statements, along with an "if-feature" statement on the CRMF option,
would enable a backwards compatible solution.
This document puts a limit of the number of elliptical curves
supported. This was done to match industry trends in IETF best
practice (e.g., matching work being done in TLS 1.3). In additional
algorithms are needed, they MAY be augmented in by another module, or
added directly in a future version of this document.
Both this document and Key Chain YANG Data Model
[draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-key-chain] define keychain YANG modules. The
authors looked at this and agree that they two modules server
different purposes and hence not worth merging into one document. To
Watsen & Schoenwaelder Expires September 17, 2016 [Page 65]
Internet-Draft NETCONF/RESTCONF Server Config Models March 2016
underscore this further, this document renamed its module from "ietf-
keychain" to "ietf-system-keychain" and that other document renamed
its module from "ietf-key-chain" to "ietf-routing-key-chain".
For the trusted-certificates list, Trust Anchor Format [RFC5914] was
evaluated and deemed inappropriate due to this document's need to
also support pinning. That is, pinning a client-certificate to
support NETCONF over TLS client authentication.
6. Security Considerations
This document defines a keychain mechanism that is entrusted with the
safe keeping of private keys, and the safe keeping of trusted
certificates. Nowhere in this API is there an ability to access
(read out) a private key once it is known to the keychain. Further,
associated public keys and attributes (e.g., algorithm name, key
length, etc.) are read-only. That said, this document allows for the
deletion of private keys and their certificates, as well the deletion
of trusted certificates. Access control mechanisms (e.g., NACM
[RFC6536]) MUST be in place so as to authorize such client actions.
Further, whilst the data model allows for private keys and trusted
certificates in general to be deleted, implementations should be well
aware that some privates keys (e.g., those in a TPM) and some trusted
certificates, should never be deleted, regardless if the
authorization mechanisms would generally allow for such actions.
For the "generate-certificate-signing-request" action, it is
RECOMMENDED that devices implement assert channel binding [RFC5056],
so as to ensure that the application layer that sent the request is
the same as the device authenticated in the secure transport layer
was established.
This document defines a data model that includes a list of private
keys. These private keys MAY be deleted using standard NETCONF or
RESTCONF operations (e.g., <edit-config>). Implementations SHOULD
automatically (without explicit request) zeroize these keys in the
most secure manner available, so as to prevent the remnants of their
persisted storage locations from being analyzed in any meaningful
way.
The keychain module define within this document defines the "load-
private-key" action enabling a device to load a client-supplied
private key. This is a private key with no shrouding to protect it.
The strength of this private key MUST NOT be greater than the
strength of the underlying secure transport connection over which it
is communicated. Devices SHOULD fail this request if ever the
strength of the private key is greater then the strength of the
underlying transport.

Internet-Draft NETCONF/RESTCONF Server Config Models March 2016
A denial of service (DoS) attack MAY occur if the NETCONF server
limits the maximum number of NETCONF sessions it will accept (i.e.
the 'max-sessions' field in the ietf-netconf-server module is not
zero) and either the "hello-timeout" or "idle-timeout" fields in
ietf-netconf-server module have been set to indicate the NETCONF
server should wait forever (i.e. set to zero).
7. IANA Considerations

Registrant Contact: The NETCONF WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-restconf-server
Registrant Contact: The NETCONF WG of the IETF.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
7.2. The YANG Module Names Registry
This document registers five YANG modules in the YANG Module Names
registry [RFC6020]. Following the format in [RFC6020], the the
following registrations are requested:
